This book penetrates the veil surrounding the conflict on the
Korean peninsula and North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes.
It provides a thorough historical analysis of relations between the
two Koreas since the Korean War, which traces both North Korea's
path to economic ruin and South Korea's transition from struggling
dictatorship to vibrant democracy.
As well as examining the political and economic development of North and South Korea at the domestic level, the book goes on to explore regional relations with Russia, China and Japan and, most importantly, America's dealings with Korea and its negotiations with North Korea, in particular. It concludes with an analysis of North Korea's current nuclear programme and its likely impact on international security in the 21st century.
